THE ROMANCE OF \ Poor Man
A touching story comes from Essex.
A poor girl who died in the Bromp-
ton hospital for consumptives express
sed a wish to be buried at Little
Horkesley, some fifty miles from Lon
don. Her mother and stepfather
were poor and could not afford to
carry out her wish in the ordinary
way. So the man, though he hap
pened to be i'll and weak at the time,
first made the coffin and then wheeled
the body down 10 its destination on
handcart. 1t took him three days to
reach the Essex village. On the
fourth day be saw the girl buried, and
her new made grave decked with
flowers from the kitchen garden and
the meadow" and then his task was
done. The local paper got wind of
it, and SO the tale of quiet heroism
came out. Then, of course, this man,
Joseph Ball, had to be interviewed,
and help to make something for the
papers out of q deed which, beyond
doubt, in the doing of it, he thought
the most simple and natural in the
world. He took his little boy of 10
with him, to give lift at the hills.
On the level road the boy had his lift
in the handcart with the corpse.
AT one Of the places where they
stopped, some village Bundle wanted
to interfere, on the plea that he was a
detective. The passage in which this
incident is related would not have
been unworthy Of Bunyan: I'VE had
bother, and be would have forced
oPen the coffin, but my master is al
ways stronger than the devil, and be
gave me strength to struggle with the
man and put him out Of the house.
The inspector Of police, who after.
ward appeared on the scene. showed
more common sense, and, after taking
the amateur undertaker's name and
address, let him 60 on his way. The
story is a perfect bit of quiet beauty
as it stands, and we dread to mar il
with a superfluOus word. II a great
genius took it in hand, he might make
it imperishable. The poor have q
way Of doing these fine things for one
another without knowing that any,
thing has been done. The last thinI

To CURE WARrs.-There is good
authority for the statement that it is
now fairly established that the COM
mon wart, which is so unsightly and
often offensive on the hands and
face, can be easily removed by small
doses of sulphate msgnesia taken in
ternally. N. COlrat. of Lyons, has
drawn attention to this extraordinary
fact. Several children treated with
three grain doses Of Epsom salts, morn
ing and evening, were promptly cured.
NJ. Aubers cites the case Of a woman
whose face was dis6gured BY these
excrescences and who was cured in a
month by drschm and half of mag
nesia taken daily. Another medical
man reports q case of very large warts
which disappeared in Tonight from
the daily administration Of ten grains
Of the salts.

4 MATTER FOR THoUGHr-RoADs.
-Good reads not only save horseflesh,
but vehicles. Take what are ordina-
rlly called good roads" aud bad
roads. and a vehicle used on the
hrst only will last twice as long. AZ
least, as one used on the latter only.
No one can doubt that country roads
would be fifty per cent. better than
they now are, if the labor and money
put upon them We're properly applied.
how to have that work and money
properly applied is the matter to be
discussed now. that the best methods
may be ready for adoption when the
season for road making comes. Wheth-
er or not the road bed should be only
surface drained, or underdraIued with
tile, or by putting In a corduroy foun-
dation; whether or not gravel or plank
should be used; how best to use cra-
vel, or plank, or tile-these are points
to be decided. The farmers club
should also discuss specifically the re
pair of each highway in the neiehbor-
hood. This will lead, among oth,r
things, 10 an understanding whether
or not it will be proper to shorten
highway by Strengthening it; whether
road that now goes around a hill
should be carried over it by grading
down the hill, or whether making a
road longer by carrying it around
hill will be compensated for the less
grade; how to keep weeds from grow
ing in the highways to seed adjacent
land, and many other points which,
thus being settled, would greatly add
10 the improvement of the roads.
